Reptilia 64 - Web spiders

Handbook of forage plants 2nd revised editionMarion Minch is not only a successful breeder of diverse tortoises for many years, but also an excellent connoisseur of native wild herbs. She founded and runs samenkiste.de, which is well known to many tortoise keepers and nature lovers. Her name is inextricably linked with reptile care and species-appropriate nutrition for tortoises. Her handbook of food plants summarises the most important native food plants for herbivorous and omnivorous reptiles. She not only considers tortoises, but also iguanas, spiny-tailed dragons and even chameleons. From the basics of plant biology to native wild herbs to suitable food plants for hardy tropical reptile species, this comprehensive work provides the basis for species-appropriate keeping. In the expanded and supplemented 2nd edition, the plant section is divided according to flower colour. This makes it even easier to identify wild herbs. The work has also been supplemented with a wealth of additional information and many pictures.

Hallmen90 CLASSIFIEDS95 LIBRARY104 GLOSSEBig autumn extra: you have mail!by H. WerningThe October/November issue of your terraristic magazine REPTILIA makes the hearts of all lizard fans and aesthetes beat faster with the title theme "Threehorned Chameleons": In this photo story, which is even more sumptuous than usual, chameleon expert Petr Necas not only gives a general overview of these fascinating animals from the subgenus Trioceros, but he also introduces you to no less than all species in detail! Chamaeleo (Trioceros) bitaeniatus and his relatives are then described in detail by the expert par excellence in this field, namely Nicolá Lutzmann. He reports about the biology of the small dragons, brings clarity into the confused systematics and not least describes their keeping and breeding vividly - for all terrarists interested in these beautiful lizards an absolute "must".Just like the next article on the title theme of Nicolá Lutzmann, who deals with the popular Chamaeleo (Trioceros) jacksonii and its relatives. Here, too, the author knows how to write expertly about the field biology of the animals, clears up the subspecies confusion and gives detailed tips for the successful care and breeding of the primeval lizards.We stay in Africa and go on Herpeto Safari in Kenya with I. Schürkes, V. Wasanga and S. Lötters. This dreamlike nature destination has not only the "big five" to offer, but is also herpetologically the very first cream, of which you can convince yourself with brilliant photos and a highly interesting expedition report.Unfortunately, the fatal situation of the Asian turtle fauna is a long runner in the REPTILIA, and if we together with you, dear readers, could contribute significantly to the construction of the conservation breeding station in the all-weather zoo Münster, the situation on site is still dramatic. This is proven by the drastic pictures and shattering experiences that Edgar Lehr and Rohan Hollowy bring back from investigations into the turtle trade in Cambodia.Sandra Bania takes care of one of the most beautiful lizards in Europe in her terrarium: the pearl lizard. Therefore she knows how to describe enthusiastically that these magnificent and trustful animals are not only an optical delight, but also show a very varied and interesting behaviour, which makes the lizards together with their relatively unproblematic keeping to best suitable fosterlings, whose keeping and breeding after the reading of this detailed contribution certainly no problems, but however much joy prepares.In the second part of his report on Das Schulvivarium, Martin Hallmen presents a practical example, namely the vivarium at the Franziskaner-Gymnasium Kreuzberg, which he initiated and praised highly. Here you can learn concretely what you have to consider during the planning and expansion phase and how everyday life with the vivarium works, how it is integrated into lessons and what publicity effect can be achieved with it. Certainly a thing worth imitating!Also in this REPTILIA we offer you of course again the full spectrum of our service: In the magazine, for example, you will read curiosities about a reptilian flower pot and get to know an interesting and up-to-date approach to the labelling of tank lizards. Dates, classifieds and the poster (this time with the Western Sandboa Eryx jaculus) are not missing in the incubator, as is Heiko Werning's infamous gloss: "This time, some people will certainly be very happy about caring mail. Will you also be there?
